    // UU encode:
    s2 = crypt.encodeString(s1,"ansi","uu");

    // Note: Call crypt.Encode instead of crypt.EncodeString
    // to UU encode binary bytes (i.e. non-text binary data).

    strOut.append(s2);
    strOut.append("\r\n");

    // UU decode:
    CkCrypt2 crypt2;
    s3 = crypt2.decodeString(s2,"ansi","uu");

    // Note: Likewise, call crypt.Decode to decode non-text binary data.

    strOut.append(s3);
    strOut.append("\r\n");

    // Show the file permissions mode and filename found
    // in the UU encoded data:
    strOut.append("UuMode = ");
    strOut.append(crypt2.uuMode());
    strOut.append("\r\n");
    strOut.append("UuFilename = ");
    strOut.append(crypt2.uuFilename());
